The story of Mario Party

A retelling of the Nintendo DS game

Disclaimer: I do not own the Mario Party game or scenario. However, it was my idea to rewrite it as a story, and I hope you enjoy it. Please forgive me if it sounds a bit forced, but I'll have you know it is very difficult to make something designed as a game into a written story XD

Prologue

Mario couldn't sleep. It was three weeks since he had rescued Princess Peach from the clutches of Bowser Jr, and he still bore the marks; several scars, bruises, and a nasty burn mark on one cheek. He turned over, and tried to think what was wrong.

Suddenly a bright light zoomed past his window. A few seconds later, there was a flash and a quiet "boom" as it hit the ground some distance away. At first Mario ignored it, but then it happened again! He got up, lit a candle, and, deciding that it wouldn't do any good to just sit around, made his way downstairs.

Ziiiiing BOOM! Ziiiiing BOOM! "There go two more," thought Mario, as he opened the door. "and they're getting closer." He stepped out into his garden and looked around.

BAM! An enormous something flew straight into the flowerbed at the bottom of the front yard, causing the ground to rock beneath Mario's feet. He walked forward and examined it. Now that the explosion had died down, he realised that the object was only about a foot wide, solid, very strangely cut and a deep ocean blue in colour.

He carefully picked it up, carried it back into the house and locked it in his valuable items volt. He decided he would show it to his brother Wario, who was an expert on precious stones, to see what he thought; but that could wait until tomorrow.
